Glenn Beck auctioning off his junk
Recently, a team of movers collected “2 truck loads of stuff” from Glenn Beck’s home. Now a website is auctioning off his goods to the highest bidders.

So was Beck hinting at the state of his personal finances when he titled his latest book “Broke”?

"As a recovering alcoholic, I know how to have a good time so my wife and I recently went through all of our stuff in storage,” Beck told Business Insider. “While it may seem like a simple thing, I've come to realize its important to take stock of our lives, especially during the holiday season, and clean out what just isn't necessary.”

So Beck isn’t strapped for cash. He says proceeds will go to a charity yet to be named. Each item comes with a “certificate of authenticity” that is signed by Beck himself.

12. "As a recovering alcoholic, I know how to have a good time"
WTF does this mean?


Only recovering alcoholics know how to have a good time? Going through your stuff in storage is a good time?



Even little snippets from this guy on meaningless subjects just don't make any sense to me.
